For Fall 2007 the Transforming Course Design focus will be
on multi-campus collaborations. Provosts have been invited to submit their
preferred course candidates for collaborations: courses that have high
enrollment, unsatisfactory student rates of success, and faculty
commitment to participation in the redesign process and openness to
implementation of the results.

November
30: Provosts will submit their campus candidate courses
to Academic Affairs for review.

December 12: Best candidates for multi-campus collaborations in course redesign will
be identified.

December 18:Faculty
recommended by Provosts for participation in the redesign process will be
selected as part of the core redesign team or the peer
review team.

The core redesign team will
analyze the curricular areas in which outcomes are not satisfactory, including

a review of scholarship and exemplary practice that
could be effectively adopted by CSU faculty to enhance student learning

identification of “gaps” in both resources
available and pedagogical practices that might lead the CSU to develop new
resources and pedagogies; and

analysis of savings for both students and
institution that could result from the redesign process.

The peer review team will
review the redesign and provide feedback to support wide applicability of the
resulting resources and learning designs.By May
30,we expect to have at least 2 multi-campus course
redesign project plans for high impact courses ready for implementation in the
2008-2009 academic year.
